Why was I expecting sabertooth tigers and spear hunting?
I like books, science, soccer, bike rides hurtling down a cliff face, kayaking with killer whales, dataviz, project retrospectives with beer, long unique passwords, and other infosec topics
Pronouns: i support those who publish them, but don’t much care what you use for me.
